Solana transaction fees have hit record lows, dropping to their lowest level since September 2024 due to reduced network congestion.
The base fee per transaction remains at 0.000005 SOL while Priority Fees make up over 97.5% of total fees.
During the same period of falling transaction fees, SOL prices have decreased by over 50% to below $130, raising concerns of further decline below $100.
The drop in SOL prices could deepen if Bitcoin fails to pick up, potentially dragging the entire crypto market down.
The decrease in meme coin activity has led to a decline in the Solana DeFi ecosystem, with total value locked reduced from $12 billion to $6.7 billion.
Concerns are rising as whales might start selling their SOL holdings, especially if prices fail to recover past key levels like $150 and $170.
Recent significant SOL transfers to centralized exchanges like Kraken suggest potential for further price declines due to increased selling pressure.
Investors are looking into alternative cryptocurrencies amidst the declining onchain activity and potential further price drops for SOL.
The decrease in meme coin demand has been a major factor in the falling SOL prices, which have plunged from an all-time high of $295 to below $130.
There is uncertainty whether SOL will drop below $100, with market sentiment and whale actions likely to influence its future price trajectory.
